LETTER: Republican Party needs spine, not Chris Christie

Yesterday I read an article about how Chris Christie is going to save the Republican Party from the mean ole tea party radicals.

He is going to win in New Jersey by a landslide and show all those "wascals" how to win by compromising and putting together a bi-partisan coalition. Blah! blah! blah! blah!

We have heard it all before. They said the same old tired thing about Romney. The establishment Republicans are prepping another loser to cram down our throats in 2016.

Where are all these coalition Democrats that are voting for Christie today going to be in 2016 when Hillary runs against him for president? Voting for Hillary, that's where, and he won't even win his own state.

Let me define compromise and bipartisanship for you from a Democratic perspective. We get everything, and you get nothing.

Or we get the prime rib and you get the crumbs.

True compromise is I get something of substance and you get something of substance, and we both walk away happy. What these idiots can't get through their head is that there are real coalitions of grass roots Democrats and Republicans out here just waiting to be led who will fight for us against Obamacare, cutting the deficit, cutting taxes, stopping the flood of illegal immigrants across our borders, protecting our First Amendment right to freedom of speech and freedom of religion.

Using our energy resources of oil, coal and natural gas rather than kissing the rear ends of people who hate us. Our Second amendment right to keep and bear arms and to restore America's proper place in the world with a strong military and sound foreign policy.

All we need is a Republican Party that can grow a spine and promote a real leader. These idiots also need to realize that you can get the independents all day long, but you can't win without your base. There will be a landslide all right but it won't be in their favor because people like me will be a no show. I and everyone else with half a brain are sick to death of their silly games.
